Vogel Retains Junior World Title as Deines Wins WBO European Crown in Halle

The results tee up bigger title pushes to start ARD's 'Mad May' boxing month.

Overview

  • At Halle's Sparkassen-Eisdom, Julian Vogel beat Sami Ahmeti by unanimous decision, 97–93, 97–93, 98–92, to keep the Junior World super-welterweight belt.
  • The rematch followed their 2025 draw, with Vogel using his height and reach to control most rounds before both pressed late.
  • Adam Deines stopped Mateusz Tryc at the end of the sixth round to take the WBO European light-heavyweight title after scoring two knockdowns in the first.
  • Deines accepted the bout on short notice after Artur Reis withdrew with a broken nose, and the win strengthens his push back toward bigger fights.
  • The card opened ARD and MDR's 'Mad May' slate, which continues later this month in Mannheim and Magdeburg with more live broadcasts and WBO title bouts.
